The role combines asset and maintenance coordination with purchasing, deliveries, mobilization and demobilization, equipment tracking, and basic in-house maintenance.

• Strong organizational, prioritization, and time-management skills with the ability to manage changing operational needs.
• Ability to work independently, take initiative, and complete assigned tasks with minimal supervision.
• Clear and professional communication skills, including the ability to confirm instructions, coordinate with employees and vendors, and provide timely updates.
• Basic computer skills; working knowledge of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office is considered an asset.
• Additional driver’s license classes, endorsements, equipment tickets, or related certifications are considered assets.
• Experience working in construction, forestry, pipeline, fleet, equipment, or other field-based operations is considered an asset.
• Experience working with Indigenous organizations or communities is considered an asset; knowledge of the Simpcw First Nation community is valued.

In this role you will:

• Coordinate with the Assistant Asset Manager to organize operational demands, maintenance schedules, deliveries, and department priorities.

• Source, purchase, pick up, and deliver supplies, tools, parts, materials, and equipment required to support company operations and projects.

• Schedule vehicle and equipment servicing, inspections, maintenance appointments, and deliveries for departments as required.

• Mobilize and demobilize tool trailers, equipment, vehicles, and materials between company locations and worksites.

• Track and maintain accurate records of vehicle, tool, trailer, and equipment locations and movements.

• Document deliveries and transfers accurately to help ensure the correct materials, tools, and equipment reach the required location.

• Perform oil changes, routine checks, and other basic in-house equipment or vehicle maintenance within your training and capabilities.

• Complete minor mechanical tasks, such as replacing small parts and installing basic aftermarket equipment or accessories on trucks, trailers, and equipment.

• Clean, organize, inspect, and stock vehicles, tools, trailers, equipment, and work areas to maintain operational readiness.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment and follow company procedures, safe-work practices, and applicable regulatory requirements.

• Assist employees and departments with locating or obtaining materials, supplies, tools, and other operational resources.
